Kim Wins First LGPA Tourney

South Korea’s In Kyung Kim won her first LPGA tournament on Sunday when she bested Angela Stanford by three strokes to win the Longs Drug Challenge at Blackhawk Country Club in Danville, California. She broke into tears after sinking a 30-foot putt to win the event. “I was overwhelmed,” Kim told the Associated Press. “It was a happy cry.”

Kim, in her second season on the LPGA tour, has six top ten finishes this year, including a tie for third in the US Women’s Open last month.

Angela Stanford finished second and Yani Tseng finished third in the Long Drug Challenge.
